Our Post Office is usually very good, they put mail
that one of our friends always addresses to "the Tin
House, Ridge Rd, Kilaben Bay" into our Post Office
Box. Unfortunatley there is someone else with the same
as me further down the road, who have an unlisted
telephone number, for quite a while people would think
that my address in the phone book was there's and we
would get lots of mail intended for them. That hasn't
happened for a while so either they've told all their
friends where they live or the postman has worked out
who gets which mail.
